Captain Man couldn't help feeling bad for Jack. The poor kid had to be in prison for nothing- well, he was doing a lot of shoplifting, but that wasn't exactly of his own free will- all because his dad was a crazy criminal; Captain Man had never been happy with his own father, but he had to admit, Mr. Manchester could have been far, far, worse. Even if he never told me about Rey.

Speaking of Rey, Captain Man spent a good chunk of the drive to Swellview Prison thinking about her. More specifically, whether or not to tell her about, you know, that subject. Maybe someday.

Captain Man couldn't help thinking that it wouldn't be fair to his sidekick. If Rey knew, that would give Henry a reason to believe he has the right to tell Piper. (Captain Man was still clueless about Piper knowing.) Then again, he thought, we all know Piper can't be trusted. He'll never tell her.

Oh, the irony.

Anyway, Jack was waiting for Captain Man in a special area where inmates could visit. The room was labeled as the "Well-Behaved Visitor's Center." Captain Man guessed that, since Jack was in prison mostly for his own safety, he qualified as someone allowed in the "Well-Behaved" section. Like the "Well Kids" and "Sick Kids" waiting rooms of his old pediatrician.

Plus, the security guards agreed to empty out the room for a few minutes for the sake of the interrogation. A few other inmates were grumpy about it, but one of the security guards pointed out that, if not for whatever they had done to land themselves in prison, they wouldn't have to deal with this issue.

Ouch.

Jack looked both hopeful and nervous when Captain Man arrived. Naturally, the superhero opulent help but wonder if Jack was a fan. (He was, actually, but was about, say, the opposite of Piper when it came to thinking about Captain Man and Kid Danger.)

"So," the superhero said as he sat down. "How's it going?" Okay, that was a stupid question.

"Not bad, actually," responded Jack. "Anywhere away from my dad is considered 'not bad' in my book."

"I thought I knew a thing or two about what having a bad father was like, but, well..." Captain Man's voice trailed off, not really sure how to finish that sentence. "Well, anyway, I realize you were questioned already, but, well, it's come to my attention that-"

"That I tried giving information about where to find others, but it was ignored." It was a statement, not a question.

"Yeah. That. So… what ya got?"

"He sang like a canary," said Captain Man to his sidekick. "Isn't that what I said before?"

It was a few hours later. As soon as Henry, Charlotte and Jasper got to work after school, Ray hustled Henry to the tubes, a super gumball in hand. They transformed as they sped up; it actually looked really cool.

Anyway, they found themselves crawling through the vents of Mr. Luke's apartment. (Mr. Luke was Jack's dad.)

"Yeah," said Kid Danger. "I believe it was."

"Jack said that there was an address book specifically for the whole organization in his dad's desk somewhere," said Captain Man as he and Kid Danger dropped into a room that was set up like an office. "And there's another robbery planned for tomorrow night. We get that address book, we can stop everything."

"Yep," said Kid Danger, switching on his flashlight. The room was dark, with the exception of two flashlight beams.

On one side of the room, there was a giant cork board. It appeared to have different pictures and maps on it. For shoplifting different places, probably.

Captain Man aimed his flashlight towards a wall clock. "Jake said his dad should be out until about seven- some kind of organization meeting- so we should have a few hours."

"Should," said Kid Danger, waving his flashlight. Wait. "Ray, I thought you said his name was Jack?"

"Yeah, that's what I've been saying."

"You just called him Jake."

"Pffffff... no, I did not, I, um, oh, look, there's his desk!"

Letting that conversation go, the two superheroes pawed through the desk. Sure enough, in one of the drawers, there was a thick, brown address book.

"You think we should take it?" Kid Danger asked. Captain Man looked at his sidekick like he was crazy. "Why wouldn't we?"

"What if we just took pictures and left the book here? He'll probably notice if it's gone and know something's up."

"I guess you're right. Pull out your phone, let's take them now, while we don't have to worry about getting caught, since Mr. Luke isn't even home."

And it was at that exact moment that they heard the front door swing open and hit the wall.

"Shoot!" Captain Man hissed. Well, something like that, anyway.

"Let's go!" Forgetting all about taking pictures, Kid Danger raced toward the open vent. Captain Man boosted him up, and then followed.

Exactly five seconds after the vent cover was back in place, the office door opened.

Captain Man was able to kinda sorta see the guy. Jack has described him so they were able to recognize him. Mr. Luke was bald, his light-skinned head reflecting the overhead light he had turned on. Captain Man could see a very dirty tattoo on the back of his neck.

Both him and Kid Danger were sure Mr. Luke would go to his desk and figure out his address book was missing, but fortunately, he did not. Mr. Luke just reached into a mini fridge and pulled something out- let's just say it wasn't a can of Sprite- and left the room without turning off the light or even closing the door.

"Let's go," whispered Captain Man. He had to crawl backwards until he backed into a wider space and was able to turn and face forward. Kid Danger led the way to wear they had crawled in from the roof. They climbed back into the Man Copter. Captain Man refused to let Kid Danger drive- he was still a little miffed about the whole incident from last time- and they took off.

"That," said Kid Danger as they flew back to the Man Cave, "was way too close."

"You're telling me," said Captain Man. "I swear I thought he was going to see me"

"Let's just hope he doesn't realize this is missing," said Kid Danger, holding up the address book. He flipped through it; every page had plenty of people. Some even had sticky notes because there wasn't enough room. "This is going to take forever."

The super pair took the address book to the police station. A few cops were called to go help capture people, but the whole process took so long that it didn't get done until almost nine.

Charlotte and Jasper had already gone home, so Henry did, too. When he finally arrived back at his own house, he found his little sister sitting in the couch, watching TV.

"So?" Piper asked immediately, turning the TV off. "How'd it go?"

"Good. Great, actually." Henry sat down on the couch, where Piper was giving him her full attention. "It took a long time, but we managed to find everyone. The cops even took care of Mr. Luke for us."

"Who?"

"The guy's dad. His name is Jack. Jack was released from the prison, and now he can find an apartment and get a real job and stuff."

"That's good," said Piper, really meaning it. "So you guys are all done with these people."

"Yeah. For now, at least."

"Cool. Oh, and Mom and Dad are at a friend's house. There's leftover pizza in the fridge."

"Cool."

Henry and Piper wanted to talk while he ate, but their parents finally got back home, so they couldn't bring up "that" topic while they were around. They both still wanted to catch up on sleep, anyway.

Before he could, though, Henry thought about what Piper said, about how she figured everything out because he was talking in his sleep. He turned on his side. What if it had been someone else? Like one of my parents, or if someone broke in?

The thought made him shiver. I need a distraction.

Henry reached for his phone, surfing the Internet in order to keep himself from playing "What If" all night. He finally fell asleep at about two in the morning, and dreamed nothing.

So... next week is when the last chapter wil be posted... *sobs*

I have picked out a new story and release date, and I'll tell y'all the release date next week. I haven't come up with a title yet, but I'll try to have on by next week.

Also: I'll give y'all another week for last chapter's Christmas eggs... did I really just type that. I meant Easter Eggs... *sigh*

Ciao, and Happy Reading!
